This ruling has me thinking 3 things:

1. It re-enforces my believe the govt is trying to outsource violations of the constitution to corporate partners. There needs to be a constitutional amendment that restricts corporations to abiding 100% to the constitution including the bill of rights.

2. Since Geofencing is violating the 4th amendment by creating an illegal search/seizure of your person, papers and property, then CBDC also violates the 4th amendment for its ability to restrict movement, snoop on your economic transactions and devalue your property (wealth and finances) on a whim. This should make Central Bank Digital Currency illegal.

3. Add to this the current investigation by the Texas AG against GM for basically spying, commoditizing personal data through illegal collection (violating the 4th amendment yet again) and selling it to all comers and the government... we really need to push back on all fronts and re-fortify through victorious lawsuits and penalties against those who violate that basic right that, until the internet age has violated this right worse than a victim of s*x trafficking.

If anyone reads this and has the connection to those high enough in power to start pushing this way, please spread the word. I don't think most people realize that without the 4th Amendment being buttressed, the 1st and 2nd can be undermined at will.

We must never forget, the elite and their psychophantic puppets view you as cattle. Slaves at best to be culled and controlled at their convenience.

Legally, if .gov tries to avoid 4A by outsourcing, whomever they outsource to is also bound by the 4A. The sticking point is actually holding them accountable, which our courts have a hit-and-miss history on.

As far as a new amendment holding private companies/citizens accountable to the restrictions on government in the Constitution, I'm not sure how you could square it with the 1A.

You're right that the courts have been the ones that are supposed to enforce this, but they've been mostly miss to completely absent because there's been almost no penalty to those who violate it. There needs to be individual penalties to those agents of govt who do violate this as there are individual penalties to citizens who would do the same.

As for squaring it with the 1A, the question runs face first into the legal fiction that a corporation is a person and has 1A rights of its own.

The problem is that without the judicial will or tools to both enforce accountability then the rights no longer exist. That's more of a cultural problem as too much of the bureaucratic class do not believe in the rules they are supposed to be enforcing to limit government. Worse, we don't seem to have the tools to purge these bad actors from the bureaucracy thanks to the SES and government unions.
